It’s 1997. Last year England made it to the semi-finals of Euro 96, Gina G came third in Eurovision and 13year-old Lizzie went to her first in-person football game: Coventry vs. Manchester City. Not the Man City of today, all oil and superstars, but the old Man City – a bit rubbish, but with good fans. Lizzie fell in love with the beautiful game that day, and she’s been obsessed ever since. But then something happens to make her question her place in the stands. ENG-ER-LAND is an energetic play about who’s really on your team…

Combining storytelling, dance and music with 1990s nostalgia, Hannah’s ENG-ER-LAND had its premiere in June 2021 with a sell-out run at Jermyn Street Theatre in London’s West End before touring to venues across the UK, including the National Football Museum. Hannah says “there are things in the show that people of all ages and from all backgrounds will identify with. It’s fun and refreshing, and you don’t need to like football!”
